 特許文献1は、液剤収納部の先端にノズル取付部を有し、該取付部は、ノズル部材の基部装着穴に挿入される円筒状挿入部と、該挿入部の外周側に設けられ且つ内面にネジが形成された円筒状の接続部とからなり、ノズル部材の基端部に設けた係合片がネジに螺合する粘性液剤注入用シリンジにおいて、挿入部を軸方向中途部から先端側に至るに従って内径が徐々に小径に形成し、該挿入部の先端部をノズル部材の装着穴の天面に当接させることで挿入部の先端開口をノズル部材の天面に開口する小孔に直接接続し、これにより挿入部内部空間から小孔に至る液剤吐出路を先端側に至るに従って徐々に小径となるように構成することを開示している。 Patent Document 1 has a nozzle mounting portion at the tip of a liquid agent storage portion, and the mounting portion is provided in a cylindrical insertion portion to be inserted into a base mounting hole of a nozzle member, an outer peripheral side of the insertion portion, and an inner surface. In the viscous liquid injection syringe in which the engagement piece provided at the base end portion of the nozzle member is screwed into the screw, the insertion portion is moved from the axially intermediate portion to the distal end side. The inner diameter is gradually reduced to a small diameter, and the distal end of the insertion portion is brought into contact with the top surface of the mounting hole of the nozzle member, so that the distal end opening of the insertion portion becomes a small hole that opens on the top surface of the nozzle member. It is disclosed that the liquid agent discharge path that connects directly and thereby reaches the small hole gradually becomes smaller in diameter toward the distal end side.
 ここで、特許文献1では、シリンジの遠位端(本明細書では、要素ごとに、術者からみて患者側を遠位側、術者側を近位側という。)に取り付けられるノズル部材(チップともいう。)は、液剤を患部に噴射する噴射口を細管の遠位端の端面に設けられている。このような構造は、特許文献1に限らず、広く知られている。 Here, in Patent Document 1, a nozzle member (here, for each element, a patient side is referred to as a distal side and a surgeon side is referred to as a proximal side as viewed from the surgeon) in the patent document 1. (Also referred to as a tip) is provided with an injection port for injecting the liquid medicine into the affected area on the end surface of the distal end of the capillary tube. Such a structure is not limited to Patent Document 1 and is widely known.
 しかしながら、このようなノズル部材は、口腔内の狭い空間内にある細長くて曲がった形状の患部となる歯髄腔に対して治療する際に、液剤を確実に根尖から歯髄腔の範囲に行き渡らせることや、口腔内での取り回しのしやすさについては考慮されていない。 However, such a nozzle member reliably spreads the liquid from the root apex to the pulp cavity when treating the pulp cavity that is an elongated and bent shape in the narrow space in the oral cavity. In addition, the ease of handling in the oral cavity is not considered.

(第1実施形態)
 以下、本発明を実施するための第1の形態(以下、「第1実施形態」という)を、添付図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。なお、実施形態の説明の全体を通して同じ要素には同じ番号を付している。
(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, a first mode for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “first embodiment”) will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the same number is assigned to the same element throughout the description of the embodiment.
<シリンジ10の全体構成>
 まず、図1を参照して、第1実施形態におけるチップ40を適用した歯科用のシリンジ10の使用態様の一例について、簡単に説明する。
 図1は、虫歯tの治療において、虫歯tの一部であるエナメル質t1、象牙質t2を除去し、さらに歯髄を抜き取った歯髄腔t3に、シリンジ10の遠位側に取り付けられたチップ40を差し込んでいる状態を示している。
 後述するように、第1実施形態におけるシリンジ10に用いるチップ40は極めて細く、且つ、可撓性に富んだプラスチック製であり、遠位端部が根尖t4に到達可能な細さ及び長さを有する。よって、従来のように、ノズル部の遠位端部が歯髄腔t3の側面に引っ掛かる等して遠位端部が根尖t4に到達しないことが低減でき、チップ40の遠位端部を根尖t4に到達させ、歯髄腔t3の細さ、長さ及び形状に沿って追随させることができる。
 チップ40は、シリンジ10に取り付けられる基部41と、基部41から遠位側に延在するテーパ部42と、テーパ部42から更に遠位側に延在するノズル部43と、を備える。
 ノズル部43は、遠位端部において、液剤Lを噴射する噴射口431を有し、側面において、螺旋溝432を有する。なお、第1実施形態において、ノズル部43は螺旋溝432を1本有するが、2本以上の複数有してよく、例えば、二重螺旋にしてもよい。
 よって、シリンジ10に収納されている薬液、接着剤等の液剤Lは、根尖t4に向けて噴射されるとともに、ノズル部43の側面に設けられた螺旋溝432を伝ってノズル部43の近位側に向けて流れるので、患部となる歯髄腔t3の側面の広範囲に亘って満遍なく行き渡る。
 また、ノズル部43は、螺旋溝432が設けられている分、螺旋溝432が設けられていない円形状の断面のノズル部43と比べて断面二次モーメントが小さくなってしなやかに曲がるようになっているので、口腔内の狭い空間内において取り回しがしやすく、細長くて曲がった形状の患部となる歯髄腔t3に対して治療しやすい。
<Overall configuration of syringe 10>
First, with reference to FIG. 1, an example of a usage mode of the dental syringe 10 to which the tip 40 in the first embodiment is applied will be briefly described.
FIG. 1 shows a tip 40 attached to the distal side of a syringe 10 in a dental pulp cavity t3 from which enamel t1 and dentin t2 which are parts of a caries t are removed and the pulp is extracted in the treatment of caries t. The state where is inserted is shown.
As will be described later, the tip 40 used in the syringe 10 according to the first embodiment is extremely thin and made of a flexible plastic, so that the distal end can reach the apex t4. Have Therefore, unlike the conventional case, it can be reduced that the distal end of the nozzle portion does not reach the apex t4 due to the distal end of the nozzle being caught on the side surface of the pulp cavity t3, and the distal end of the tip 40 can be reduced. The apex t4 can be reached and followed along the fineness, length and shape of the pulp cavity t3.
The tip 40 includes a base portion 41 attached to the syringe 10, a tapered portion 42 extending distally from the base portion 41, and a nozzle portion 43 extending further distally from the tapered portion 42.
The nozzle portion 43 has an injection port 431 for injecting the liquid L at the distal end portion, and has a spiral groove 432 on the side surface. In the first embodiment, the nozzle portion 43 has one spiral groove 432, but may have two or more, for example, a double spiral.
Therefore, the liquid L such as a chemical solution and an adhesive stored in the syringe 10 is sprayed toward the root apex t4 and travels along the spiral groove 432 provided on the side surface of the nozzle portion 43 to approach the nozzle portion 43. Since it flows toward the distal side, it spreads evenly over a wide area of the side surface of the pulp cavity t3 that becomes the affected part.
In addition, the nozzle portion 43 is bent flexibly because the secondary moment is smaller than the nozzle portion 43 having a circular cross section where the spiral groove 432 is not provided because the spiral groove 432 is provided. Therefore, it is easy to handle in a narrow space in the oral cavity, and it is easy to treat the pulp cavity t3 which is an elongated and bent shape affected part.
 図2(a)は、シリンジ10の組立斜視図である。図2(b)は、各種のチップ40の斜視図である。
 シリンジ10は、図2(a)に示すように、液剤Lを収納するバレル20と、バレル20の内部に近位側から挿入され、液剤Lを遠位側へ押し出すプランジャー30と、バレル20の遠位側に取り付けられ、液剤Lを外部へ噴射するチップ40を備えている。なお、図2(a)では、直線状のノズル部43を備えるチップ40がシリンジ10に取り付けられているが、図2(b)に示すように、チップ40は、ノズル部43の長さが通常のもの(左から1番目の図)やノズル部43の長さが長いもの(左から2番目の図)、ノズル部43が直線状(左から1番目及び2番目の図)、折曲状(左から3番目及び5番目の図)、湾曲状(左から4番目の図)等様々な形状に形成されており、用途に応じて適切なものを選択することができる。なお、図2(b)の最も右の図にあるように、基部41をテーパとしてもよい。
FIG. 2A is an assembled perspective view of the syringe 10. FIG. 2B is a perspective view of various chips 40.
As shown in FIG. 2A, the syringe 10 includes a barrel 20 that stores the liquid L, a plunger 30 that is inserted into the barrel 20 from the proximal side and pushes the liquid L to the distal side, and the barrel 20. And a tip 40 for injecting the liquid L to the outside. In FIG. 2A, the tip 40 having the linear nozzle portion 43 is attached to the syringe 10, but as shown in FIG. 2B, the tip 40 has a length of the nozzle portion 43. Normal (first figure from the left), long nozzle part 43 (second figure from the left), nozzle part 43 is straight (first and second figures from the left), bent It is formed in various shapes such as a shape (third and fifth figures from the left) and a curved shape (fourth figure from the left), and an appropriate one can be selected according to the application. As shown in the rightmost diagram of FIG. 2B, the base 41 may be tapered.
 バレル20は、液剤Lを収納する円筒状の収納容器である。液剤Lは、シリンジ10の使用時に収納されてもよいし、シリンジ10の出荷時にあらかじめ収納されてもよい(プレフィル用シリンジ)。バレル20の近位側には、プランジャー30を押し込む際の支点となるフィンガーグリップ22が設けられている。なお、ここでは図示していないが、バレル20の外周には、液剤Lの量を示す目盛りが施されている。 The barrel 20 is a cylindrical storage container that stores the liquid L. The liquid L may be stored when the syringe 10 is used, or may be stored in advance when the syringe 10 is shipped (prefilled syringe). A finger grip 22 serving as a fulcrum when the plunger 30 is pushed in is provided on the proximal side of the barrel 20. Although not shown here, a scale indicating the amount of the liquid agent L is provided on the outer periphery of the barrel 20.
 バレル20に収納される液剤Lとしては、種々のものが適用されるが、消毒液のほか、歯科用充填材料、好ましくは光重合型フロー充填材等を用いることができる。これらの液剤Lは、それぞれ異なる粘性を有しており、後述するように、その粘性は、チップ40における特にノズル部43の外径及び内径の設定に反映される。 As the liquid L stored in the barrel 20, various types are applied, and in addition to the disinfectant, a dental filling material, preferably a photopolymerization type flow filling material can be used. These liquid agents L have different viscosities, and as will be described later, the viscosities are reflected in the setting of the outer diameter and inner diameter of the nozzle portion 43 in the tip 40.
 バレル20の遠位側には、後述するチップ40を取り付けるためのチップ取付部21が設けられている。図3はチップ取付部21を拡大して示す図であって、ここでは、チップ取付部21として、チップ40の脱落防止を確実にするため、ルアーロックタイプのものを示している。図3に示すように、チップ取付部21は、内周面にメス側の二条ネジ212が形成された円筒状の接続部211と、接続部211の内周面側に設けられた円筒状の挿入部213と、を有している。なお、バレル20の外形は、チップ取付部21を有する遠位側が図3のように縮径していてもよく、図2(a)のように拡径していてもよく、同径(不図示)であってもよい。 At the distal side of the barrel 20, a chip mounting portion 21 for mounting a chip 40 to be described later is provided. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the tip mounting portion 21, and here, as the tip mounting portion 21, a Luer lock type is shown in order to ensure the prevention of the tip 40 from falling off. As shown in FIG. 3, the chip mounting portion 21 includes a cylindrical connection portion 211 having a female-side double threaded screw 212 formed on the inner peripheral surface, and a cylindrical shape provided on the inner peripheral surface side of the connection portion 211. And an insertion portion 213. The outer shape of the barrel 20 may be such that the distal side having the tip mounting portion 21 has a reduced diameter as shown in FIG. 3 or an enlarged diameter as shown in FIG. As shown).
 接続部211と挿入部213とは同心状になっており、接続部211の内周面と挿入部213の外周面との間には、後述するチップ40の基部41が挿入される空間が形成されている。接続部211のメス側の二条ネジ212には、チップ40の基部41の螺合部412の外周面に設けられているオス側の二条ネジ413が螺合し、挿入部213は、チップ40の基部41の装着穴411に挿入される。挿入部213は、外径がチップ40の装着穴411の内径とほぼ等しく形成されるとともに、近位側から遠位側へ行くに従って内径及び外径が徐々に狭まるように形成されている。 The connection portion 211 and the insertion portion 213 are concentric, and a space for inserting a base portion 41 of the chip 40 described later is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the connection portion 211 and the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion 213. Has been. A male double thread 413 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the threaded portion 412 of the base 41 of the chip 40 is screwed into the female double thread 212 of the connecting portion 211, and the insertion portion 213 is connected to the chip 40. It is inserted into the mounting hole 411 of the base 41. The insertion portion 213 is formed so that the outer diameter is substantially equal to the inner diameter of the mounting hole 411 of the tip 40, and the inner diameter and the outer diameter are gradually narrowed from the proximal side to the distal side.
 なお、ここではルアーロックタイプを示したが、第1実施形態に係るチップ40の適用にあたっては、ルアーロックタイプに限られることなく、例えば、チップ40を挿入するための挿入部213のみを有するルアーコーンタイプのものであってもよい。 Although the luer lock type is shown here, the application of the chip 40 according to the first embodiment is not limited to the luer lock type, and for example, a lure having only an insertion portion 213 for inserting the chip 40. It may be of corn type.
 図2(a)に戻り、プランジャー30は、バレル20の内部に近位端から挿入され、バレル20に収納されている液剤Lを押し出すための押し子である。プランジャー30の遠位側には液剤Lを液密状態で押し出すためのガスケット31が設けられている。ガスケット31は特定の態様のものに限る必要はないが、ここでは、プランジャー30と一体的に成形されたものを示している。ガスケット31は、バレル20の内壁と二重のフランジ311,312をもって当接しており、液剤Lの液密状態を維持する。さらに、ガスケット31は、その遠位側に、液剤Lの残液量を少なくするためにチップ40の内部に差し込まれる突起部313を設けている。ガスケット31は、プランジャー30とは別体的に成形されたものでも、もちろんよい。 2 (a), the plunger 30 is a pusher that is inserted into the barrel 20 from the proximal end and pushes out the liquid L stored in the barrel 20. A gasket 31 for extruding the liquid agent L in a liquid-tight state is provided on the distal side of the plunger 30. The gasket 31 need not be limited to a specific embodiment, but here, the gasket 31 is formed integrally with the plunger 30. The gasket 31 is in contact with the inner wall of the barrel 20 with double flanges 311 and 312, and maintains the liquid-tight state of the liquid L. Furthermore, the gasket 31 is provided with a protrusion 313 to be inserted into the chip 40 in order to reduce the amount of the liquid L remaining on the distal side. Of course, the gasket 31 may be formed separately from the plunger 30.
 チップ40は、プランジャー30によって押し出された液剤Lを噴射するためのものであり、バレル20のチップ取付部21に着脱可能に取り付けられるようになっている。第1実施形態の要部であるチップ40のノズル部43については、直線状、折曲状、湾曲状等のいずれでもあってよいが、直線状に形成されたものに代表させて、項をあらためて説明する。 The tip 40 is for injecting the liquid L pushed out by the plunger 30, and is detachably attached to the tip attachment portion 21 of the barrel 20. The nozzle part 43 of the chip 40, which is the main part of the first embodiment, may be any of a linear shape, a bent shape, a curved shape, etc. I will explain it again.
<チップ40>
 まず、図4及び図5を参照して、チップ40の外観について説明する。チップ40は、金型を使用した製造方法によって製造することが好適であるが、例えば、一対のパリソン(パイプ状の樹脂材料)を一対の金型の間に押し出し、一対の金型を閉塞した後、エアを内部に吹き込んで所望の中空の形状とするブロー成形によって製造することができる。そのように製造したとき、一対の金型の分割面にあたるところがパーティングラインPLである。なお、後述する螺旋溝432は、チップ40の金型を使用した製造に伴って金型によって形成されてもよく、金型から脱型されたチップ40に対して、切削等の追加の加工を施すことによって形成されてもよい。
 図4(a)は、チップ40の長手方向の正面図であって、そのパーティングラインPLの位置を示す。図4(b)は図4(a)の左側面図(遠位側)を、図4(c)はその右側面図(近位側)をそれぞれ示す。図5(a)は図4(a)のA-A方向からみた平面図である。図5(b)は、図5(a)における遠位端部の範囲Bの拡大図である。
<Chip 40>
First, the external appearance of the chip 40 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. The chip 40 is preferably manufactured by a manufacturing method using a mold. For example, a pair of parisons (pipe-shaped resin materials) are extruded between a pair of molds, and the pair of molds are closed. After that, it can be manufactured by blow molding air into the desired hollow shape. When manufactured in this manner, the parting line PL is the part corresponding to the split surface of the pair of molds. In addition, the spiral groove 432 described later may be formed by a mold along with the manufacturing using the mold of the chip 40, and additional processing such as cutting is performed on the chip 40 released from the mold. It may be formed by applying.
FIG. 4A is a front view of the chip 40 in the longitudinal direction, and shows the position of the parting line PL. 4B shows a left side view (distal side) of FIG. 4A, and FIG. 4C shows a right side view (proximal side) thereof. FIG. 5A is a plan view seen from the AA direction of FIG. FIG.5 (b) is an enlarged view of the range B of the distal end part in Fig.5 (a).
 図4(a)及び図5(a)に示すように、チップ40は、一体的に成形された、基部41と、テーパ部42と、ノズル部43とを備えている。基部41は、バレル20のチップ取付部21に取り付けられる部分、テーパ部42は、基部41とノズル部43を連絡する部分、ノズル部43は、テーパ部42の遠位側に延在して液剤Lを所望の箇所に流通させる部分である。 As shown in FIGS. 4A and 5A, the chip 40 includes a base portion 41, a tapered portion 42, and a nozzle portion 43, which are integrally formed. The base portion 41 is a portion attached to the tip mounting portion 21 of the barrel 20, the taper portion 42 is a portion connecting the base portion 41 and the nozzle portion 43, and the nozzle portion 43 extends to the distal side of the taper portion 42 and is a liquid agent It is a part which distribute | circulates L to a desired location.
 基部41は、前述のとおり、ルアーロックタイプとして、その近位端は螺合部412となっている。すなわち、螺合部412の外周面にはオス側の二条ネジ413が設けられており、チップ取付部21の接続部211の内周面に設けられているメス側の二条ネジ212と螺合する。 As described above, the base 41 is a luer lock type, and the proximal end thereof is a screwing portion 412. That is, a male-side double thread 413 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the threaded portion 412, and is screwed with a female-side double thread 212 provided on the inner peripheral surface of the connection portion 211 of the chip mounting portion 21. .
 基部41から遠位側に延在するテーパ部42の外周面には、チップ40をチップ取付部21に螺合しやすくするため、4枚の指掛け部423が基部41の軸を中心として均等配置されて放射状に設けられている。ここでは、同形同大の4枚の指掛け部423を示しているが、図2(b)の左から4番目の図に示すように、ノズル部43が直線状ではなく折曲状や湾曲状である場合に、一部を異形異大としてもよい。これにより、チップ取付部21に対して基部41を取り付け、取り外しする際に、ノズル部43が直線状ではなくても、チップ40を把持して回転しやすく、扱いやすくなる。また、指掛け部423がテーパ部42に対する補強リブとなり、剛性の向上に寄与し、テーパ部42の肉厚が薄くても、液剤Lによる内圧に耐える構造にでき、形状を確保できる。 On the outer peripheral surface of the taper portion 42 extending distally from the base portion 41, four finger hook portions 423 are evenly arranged around the axis of the base portion 41 so that the tip 40 can be easily screwed into the tip mounting portion 21. And are provided radially. Here, four finger hooks 423 of the same shape and size are shown. However, as shown in the fourth diagram from the left in FIG. 2B, the nozzle 43 is not linear but bent or curved. In the case of a shape, a part of the shape may be irregular. As a result, when the base 41 is attached to and detached from the tip attaching portion 21, the tip 40 can be easily gripped and rotated and handled even if the nozzle portion 43 is not linear. Moreover, even if the finger hook part 423 becomes a reinforcement rib with respect to the taper part 42, it contributes to a rigid improvement and the thickness of the taper part 42 is thin, it can be set as the structure which can bear the internal pressure by the liquid agent L, and a shape can be ensured.
 また、基部41からテーパ部42を経由して延在するノズル部43は、遠位端部において、液剤Lが噴射される噴射口431を有し、側面において、螺旋溝432を有する。螺旋溝432の断面形状は、矩形状に限らず、三角形状や半円状等であってもよい。
 ノズル部43は、螺旋溝432を側面に有するので、曲げ剛性を低減でき、しなやかなものになるとともに、歯髄腔t3の形状に追随するように曲げられた状態を保持できるので、術中に、ノズル部43が歯髄腔t3その他の口腔内部等で突き刺さったりせず、患者に痛みを与えることを避けることができる。
The nozzle portion 43 extending from the base portion 41 via the taper portion 42 has an injection port 431 through which the liquid L is injected at the distal end portion, and has a spiral groove 432 on the side surface. The cross-sectional shape of the spiral groove 432 is not limited to a rectangular shape, and may be a triangular shape or a semicircular shape.
Since the nozzle portion 43 has the spiral groove 432 on the side surface, the bending rigidity can be reduced, and the nozzle portion 43 can be supple and can be kept bent so as to follow the shape of the pulp cavity t3. It is possible to avoid giving pain to the patient because the portion 43 does not pierce in the pulp cavity t3 or other oral cavity.
 螺旋溝432において液剤Lの流路となる断面積は、ノズル部43における遠位側から近位側に向けて徐々に小さくなるようにしてもよい。これにより、液剤Lを患部における広範囲に亘って満遍なく行き渡らせるのみならず、遠位端部で液剤Lによる圧力が集中することを緩和しつつ、遠位側から近位側にかけて広範囲に存在する患部の範囲に対して、圧力を分散させることができる。よって、患者に与える痛みを更に緩和させることができる。 The cross-sectional area that becomes the flow path of the liquid agent L in the spiral groove 432 may be gradually decreased from the distal side to the proximal side in the nozzle portion 43. As a result, not only the liquid L is spread evenly over a wide area in the affected area, but also the affected area existing in a wide area from the distal side to the proximal side while relaxing the pressure due to the liquid L at the distal end. The pressure can be dispersed with respect to the range. Therefore, the pain given to the patient can be further alleviated.
 図6を参照して、チップ40の内部構造について説明する。
 図6は、図4(a)におけるA矢視断面図である。
 図6に示すように、基部41の内側は装着穴411になっており、チップ取付部21の挿入部213が挿入される。装着穴411は、挿入部213と適合するように、近位側から遠位側へいくに従って内径が徐々に狭まるように形成されている。
The internal structure of the chip 40 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along arrow A in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, the inside of the base portion 41 is a mounting hole 411, and the insertion portion 213 of the chip attachment portion 21 is inserted. The mounting hole 411 is formed so that the inner diameter gradually narrows from the proximal side to the distal side so as to be compatible with the insertion portion 213.
 テーパ部42は、基部41とノズル部43を連絡するものであり、プランジャー30によってバレル20の挿入部213から押し出された薬液の内圧を高めるため、その近位端には基部41の内径に連なる口径の流入口421を有している。そして、遠位側にはノズル部43へと連通する流出口422を有しており、流入口421から流出口422へ行くに従って内径が急激に狭まるように形成されている。 The taper portion 42 communicates the base portion 41 and the nozzle portion 43, and in order to increase the internal pressure of the chemical liquid pushed out from the insertion portion 213 of the barrel 20 by the plunger 30, the proximal end thereof has an inner diameter of the base portion 41. An inlet 421 having a continuous diameter is provided. In addition, an outlet 422 communicating with the nozzle portion 43 is provided on the distal side, and the inner diameter is formed so as to be sharply narrowed from the inlet 421 toward the outlet 422.
 ノズル部43は、テーパ部42の遠位側に延在する細管であって、その近位端はテーパ部42の流出口422と連通している。ノズル部43の遠位側は近位側よりも更に細くなっている。ノズル部43は、図1に示したような歯科治療において歯髄腔t3の洗浄や接着剤の充填等に対応できるように、長さ、細さ、材質が設定される。ノズル部43は、金型を使用した製造方法等の制約の範囲内で、細くすることが好ましい。 The nozzle portion 43 is a thin tube extending to the distal side of the tapered portion 42, and its proximal end communicates with the outlet 422 of the tapered portion 42. The distal side of the nozzle part 43 is thinner than the proximal side. The length, thinness, and material of the nozzle portion 43 are set so that it can cope with cleaning of the pulp cavity t3, filling of the adhesive, and the like in the dental treatment as shown in FIG. It is preferable to make the nozzle portion 43 thinner within the scope of restrictions such as a manufacturing method using a mold.
 チップ40における少なくともノズル部43は、歯科治療に用いられる場合、歯髄腔t3の形状に追随するように医師によって曲げられた状態で用いられるので、少なくとも曲げられてから術後までの時間(例えば、3分間)において、撓んだ状態を保持可能な粘弾性を有するプラスチック製とすることが好ましい。また、良好な可撓性の観点から、ポリプロピレン(PP)によって成形することが特に好ましい。なお、ノズル部43は、曲げられてから、撓んだ状態を保持可能に塑性変形するものであってもよい。
 これにより、ノズル部43がしなやかなものになるとともに、歯髄腔t3の形状に追随するように曲げられた状態を保持できるので、術中に、ノズル部43が歯髄腔t3その他の口腔内部等で突き刺さったりせず、患者に痛みを与えることを避けることができる。
When used for dental treatment, at least the nozzle portion 43 of the tip 40 is used in a state bent by a doctor so as to follow the shape of the pulp cavity t3, so that at least the time from the bending to the postoperative period (for example, (3 minutes), it is preferable to use a viscoelastic plastic that can maintain a bent state. Further, from the viewpoint of good flexibility, it is particularly preferable to mold with polypropylene (PP). The nozzle portion 43 may be plastically deformed so that it can be bent after being bent.
As a result, the nozzle portion 43 becomes supple and can be kept bent so as to follow the shape of the pulp cavity t3. Therefore, during the operation, the nozzle portion 43 is stuck in the pulp cavity t3 and other oral cavity. Without hurting the patient.
 次に、チップ40の寸法の一例について、説明する。各寸法のうち、特に長さについては用途に応じて適宜設定でき、例えば、全体の長さを35mmとしたとき、基部41の長さを8mm、テーパ部42の長さを6mm、ノズル部43の長さを21mm等とすることができる。その際、ノズル部43の細さは、金型を使用した製造方法等の制約の範囲内で可能な限り細くすることが望ましく、例えばノズル部43の遠位端部の外径を0.25mmから0.6mmの範囲とし、内径を0.1mmから0.4mmの範囲とすることができる。これら外径及び内径の設定にあたっては、液剤Lの粘性を考慮して選択できる。 Next, an example of the dimensions of the chip 40 will be described. Among the dimensions, the length can be set as appropriate according to the application. For example, when the total length is 35 mm, the length of the base 41 is 8 mm, the length of the taper 42 is 6 mm, and the nozzle 43. Can be set to 21 mm or the like. At that time, it is desirable to make the nozzle part 43 as thin as possible within the limits of the manufacturing method using a mold or the like. For example, the outer diameter of the distal end part of the nozzle part 43 is 0.25 mm. The inner diameter can be in the range of 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm. In setting the outer diameter and the inner diameter, the viscosity of the liquid L can be taken into consideration.
 粘性が1.0~5.0mPa・sの液剤Lでは、これら外径及び内径のうち最も細い外径0.25mm及び内径0.1mmを採用することができる。なお、寸法公差は、基準寸法に対して±0.05mmが見込まれる。よって、ノズル部43は、その遠位端部において、0.25±0.05mmの外径及び0.1±0.05mmの内径を有するものとなる。このような細くて長いノズル部43を採用することで、ノズル部43の遠位端部が根尖t4に到達可能となる。 In the liquid L having a viscosity of 1.0 to 5.0 mPa · s, the thinnest outer diameter and inner diameter of 0.25 mm and 0.1 mm can be employed. The dimensional tolerance is expected to be ± 0.05 mm with respect to the reference dimension. Therefore, the nozzle portion 43 has an outer diameter of 0.25 ± 0.05 mm and an inner diameter of 0.1 ± 0.05 mm at its distal end. By adopting such a thin and long nozzle portion 43, the distal end portion of the nozzle portion 43 can reach the root apex t4.
 次に、図7を用いて、液剤Lの流れを説明する。
 図7は、液剤Lの流れを示す説明図である。
 図7に示すように、第1実施形態におけるチップ40のノズル部43は、遠位端部において、液剤Lを噴射する噴射口431を有し、側面において、螺旋溝432を有する。よって、プランジャー30によって押し出された液剤Lは、噴射口431から根尖t4(図1参照)に向けて軸方向(図7における矢印L1)に噴射される。噴射された液剤Lの一部はノズル部43における遠位端43aの表面に沿って矢印L2で示されるように、近位側(図7における上方向)に向きを変えて流れる。そして、液剤Lはノズル部43の側面に設けられた螺旋溝432に到達し、一部が矢印L3で示されるように側方に流れ、一部が矢印L4で示されるように螺旋溝432を伝って近位側に流れる。同様にして、螺旋溝432に到達した液剤Lは、一部が矢印L5、L7、L9で示されるように側方に流れ、一部が矢印L6、L8で示されるように、螺旋溝432を伝って近位側に流れる。
 このようにして、液剤Lは、根尖t4に向けて噴射されるとともに、ノズル部43の側面に設けられた螺旋溝432を伝ってノズル部43の近位側に向けて流れるので、歯髄腔t3(不図示)の側面の広範囲に亘って満遍なく行き渡る。
Next, the flow of the liquid agent L will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of the liquid L.
As shown in FIG. 7, the nozzle portion 43 of the chip 40 in the first embodiment has an injection port 431 for injecting the liquid L at the distal end portion, and has a spiral groove 432 on the side surface. Therefore, the liquid L pushed out by the plunger 30 is ejected in the axial direction (arrow L1 in FIG. 7) from the ejection port 431 toward the root apex t4 (see FIG. 1). A part of the jetted liquid L flows in the direction of the proximal side (upward in FIG. 7) as indicated by the arrow L2 along the surface of the distal end 43a of the nozzle portion 43. Then, the liquid L reaches the spiral groove 432 provided on the side surface of the nozzle portion 43, partly flows sideways as indicated by the arrow L3, and partly passes through the spiral groove 432 as indicated by the arrow L4. It flows to the proximal side. Similarly, part of the liquid L that has reached the spiral groove 432 flows sideways as indicated by arrows L5, L7, and L9, and passes through the spiral groove 432 as indicated by arrows L6 and L8. It flows to the proximal side.
In this way, the liquid L is ejected toward the apex t4 and flows toward the proximal side of the nozzle portion 43 through the spiral groove 432 provided on the side surface of the nozzle portion 43. It spreads evenly over a wide area on the side of t3 (not shown).
(第2実施形態)
 次に、本発明を実施するための第2の形態(以下、「第2実施形態」という)を、図8に基づいて説明する。
 第2実施形態におけるノズル部43は、第1実施形態におけるノズル部43と比べて、遠位端部の構造が異なるので、以下では、特に、ノズル部43における遠位端部の構造について説明する。
 図8は本発明の第2実施形態のノズル部43における遠位端部の拡大図である。
 図8に示すように、ノズル部43における遠位端部は、噴射口431から噴出された液剤Lを螺旋溝432に連通するスリット433を有する。
(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second mode for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “second embodiment”) will be described with reference to FIG.
Since the nozzle part 43 in the second embodiment has a different distal end structure compared to the nozzle part 43 in the first embodiment, the structure of the distal end part in the nozzle part 43 will be particularly described below. .
FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of the distal end portion of the nozzle portion 43 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 8, the distal end portion of the nozzle portion 43 has a slit 433 that allows the liquid L ejected from the ejection port 431 to communicate with the spiral groove 432.
 スリット433は、ノズル部43の遠位端43aに、遠位端部の直径方向に延在するように設けられる。そして、スリット433の底面には、噴射口431が開口している。これにより、噴射口431から噴射される液剤Lは、軸方向(矢印R1)に加えて、直径方向(矢印R2)にも流れるので、軸方向への噴射の圧力を低減できる。また、直径方向に流れた液剤Lは、図8において矢印R2で示すように、スリット433を伝って、螺旋溝432に流れるので、螺旋溝432を伝ってノズル部43の近位側に向けて流れやすくでき、歯髄腔t3の側面の広範囲に亘って満遍なく行き渡らせることができる。 The slit 433 is provided at the distal end 43a of the nozzle portion 43 so as to extend in the diameter direction of the distal end portion. An injection port 431 is opened on the bottom surface of the slit 433. Thereby, since the liquid L injected from the injection port 431 also flows in the diameter direction (arrow R2) in addition to the axial direction (arrow R1), the pressure of the injection in the axial direction can be reduced. Moreover, since the liquid agent L that has flowed in the diameter direction flows through the slit 433 and flows into the spiral groove 432 as indicated by an arrow R2 in FIG. 8, it travels along the spiral groove 432 toward the proximal side of the nozzle portion 43. It can flow easily and can be spread evenly over a wide area of the side surface of the pulp cavity t3.
 なお、図8において、遠位端43aは平面で示されているが、これに限らず、球面の一部や曲面の一部であってもよい。なお、ノズル部43を遠位側から近位側にみて、遠位端43aにおける噴射口431と重なる部分(スリット433の遠位側の開口部)は閉塞して、例えば遠位端43aを凹凸のない平面や球面や曲面としてもよい。これにより、噴射口431から噴射された液剤Lは閉塞部に衝突するので、液剤Lが根尖t4へ直接噴射されることなく、患者に与える痛みを低減できるとともに、閉塞部に衝突した液剤Lはスリット433を伝って螺旋溝432に流れるので、液剤Lを歯髄腔t3の側面の広範囲に亘って満遍なく行き渡らせることができる。 In addition, in FIG. 8, although the distal end 43a is shown by the plane, it is not restricted to this, A part of spherical surface and a part of curved surface may be sufficient. When the nozzle portion 43 is viewed from the distal side to the proximal side, the portion of the distal end 43a that overlaps with the injection port 431 (the opening on the distal side of the slit 433) is closed, and the distal end 43a is uneven, for example. It may be a flat surface, a spherical surface, or a curved surface. Thereby, since the liquid agent L injected from the injection port 431 collides with the occluded portion, the liquid agent L can be reduced without causing the liquid agent L to be directly injected onto the apex t4, and the pain given to the patient can be reduced. Flows through the slit 433 to the spiral groove 432, so that the liquid L can be spread evenly over a wide area of the side surface of the pulp cavity t3.
(第3実施形態)
 以下、本発明を実施するための第3の形態(以下、「第3実施形態」という)を、図9及び図10に基づいて説明する。
 第3実施形態におけるチップ40は、第1実施形態や第2実施形態におけるチップ40と比べて、テーパ部42の構造が異なるので、以下では、特に、テーパ部42の構造について説明する。なお、以下では、ノズル部43の側面に螺旋溝432が設けられていない場合で説明するが、第3実施形態におけるチップ40は、ノズル部43の側面に螺旋溝432を有してもよい。

(Third embodiment)
Hereinafter, a third mode for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “third embodiment”) will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10.
Since the chip 40 in the third embodiment is different in the structure of the taper portion 42 from the chip 40 in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the structure of the taper portion 42 will be particularly described below. In the following, the case where the spiral groove 432 is not provided on the side surface of the nozzle portion 43 will be described. However, the chip 40 in the third embodiment may have the spiral groove 432 on the side surface of the nozzle portion 43.
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a chip 40 according to the third embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 10A is a plan view of a chip 40 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10B is a front view of the chip 40 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10C is a cross-sectional view taken along the arrow C in FIG. FIG. 10 (d) is a detailed view of a portion D in FIG. 10 (a). FIG. 10 (e) is a detailed view of a portion E in FIG. 10 (c).
 図9及び図10に示すように、チップ40は、シリンジ10に取り付けられる基部41と、基部41から遠位側に延在し、蛇腹状の屈曲部Jを有するテーパ部42と、テーパ部42から更に遠位側に延在するノズル部43とを備える。ノズル部43は、遠位端部において、液剤Lを噴射する噴射口431を有する。 As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the tip 40 includes a base portion 41 attached to the syringe 10, a tapered portion 42 extending distally from the base portion 41 and having a bellows-like bent portion J, and a tapered portion 42. And a nozzle portion 43 extending further to the distal side. The nozzle part 43 has the injection port 431 which injects the liquid agent L in a distal end part.
 屈曲部Jは、テーパ部42の軸方向に亘って略均一な肉厚Tを有する。テーパ部42の屈曲性(柔軟性)を確保するため、テーパ部42の肉厚Tは、ノズル部43の肉厚及び基部41の肉厚より小さくなっている。 The bent portion J has a substantially uniform thickness T over the axial direction of the tapered portion 42. In order to ensure the flexibility (flexibility) of the tapered portion 42, the thickness T of the tapered portion 42 is smaller than the thickness of the nozzle portion 43 and the thickness of the base portion 41.
 屈曲部Jは、略同径の最大径Dmaxを有する複数の頂部と、略同径の最小径Dminを有する複数の裾部とが交互になるように形成されている。屈曲部Jは、両隣の頂部と、その間の裾部とからなる周溝を4箇所に有する。また、それぞれの周溝において、裾部と裾部に隣接する遠位側の頂部との間隔p1は、裾部と裾部に隣接する近位側の頂部との間隔p2よりも、大きくなっている。 The bent portion J is formed such that a plurality of apexes having a maximum diameter Dmax having substantially the same diameter and a plurality of skirt portions having a minimum diameter Dmin having substantially the same diameter are alternately arranged. The bent portion J has four circumferential grooves each having a top portion on both sides and a skirt portion therebetween. In each circumferential groove, the interval p1 between the skirt and the distal apex adjacent to the skirt is greater than the interval p2 between the skirt and the proximal apex adjacent to the skirt. Yes.
 屈曲部Jは蛇腹状であるので、チップ40を、基部41とノズル部43との間にあるテーパ部42において、例えば0°から90°の所定の角度範囲内における所望の角度で屈曲させた形状に保持できる。また、同時に、屈曲部Jが蛇腹状であることにより、チップ40の径方向からの力に対する剛性が確保されるので、径方向に潰れにくくなる。
 よって、患部の箇所によって、チップ40を所望の角度に屈曲させることで対応でき、口腔内の狭い空間内において取り回しがしやすく、細長くて曲がった形状の患部となる歯髄腔t3に対して治療しやすい上に、多様な屈曲形状を有するチップ40から選択する必要がない。
Since the bent portion J has a bellows shape, the tip 40 is bent at a desired angle within a predetermined angle range of, for example, 0 ° to 90 ° at the tapered portion 42 between the base portion 41 and the nozzle portion 43. Can be held in shape. At the same time, since the bent portion J has a bellows shape, rigidity with respect to the force from the radial direction of the tip 40 is ensured, so that it is difficult to be crushed in the radial direction.
Therefore, depending on the location of the affected area, the tip 40 can be bent by bending it to a desired angle, and it is easy to handle in a narrow space in the oral cavity, and the pulp cavity t3 is treated as an elongated and bent shape affected area. In addition, it is not necessary to select from chips 40 having various bent shapes.
 以上、実施形態について説明したが、本発明は、具体的な実施形態に限定されるものではなく、種々の変更を行ったものも含まれるものであり、そのことは、当業者にとって請求の範囲の記載から明らかである。例えば、チップ40のノズル部43は直線状のほかに折曲状や湾曲状であってもよい。 Although the embodiments have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, and includes various modifications, which are claimed by those skilled in the art. It is clear from the description. For example, the nozzle portion 43 of the chip 40 may be bent or curved in addition to a linear shape.
 本発明によれば、シリンジ10に用いるチップ40であって、シリンジ10に取り付けられる基部41と、基部41から遠位側に延在するテーパ部42と、テーパ部42から更に遠位側に延在し、遠位端部において液剤Lを噴射する噴射口431を有するノズル部43と、を備え、ノズル部43は、プラスチック製であり、遠位端部が根尖t4に到達可能な細さ及び長さを有するので、従来のように、ノズル部の遠位端部が歯髄腔t3の側面に引っ掛かる等して遠位端部が根尖t4に到達しないことが低減でき、チップ40の遠位端部を根尖t4に到達させ、歯髄腔t3の細さ、長さ及び形状に沿って追随させることができる。よって、液剤Lを確実に根尖t4から歯髄腔t3の範囲に行き渡らせることができ、口腔内での取り回しがしやすい。 According to the present invention, the tip 40 used in the syringe 10 includes a base portion 41 attached to the syringe 10, a tapered portion 42 extending distally from the base portion 41, and further extending further distally from the tapered portion 42. And a nozzle portion 43 having an injection port 431 for injecting the liquid L at the distal end portion. The nozzle portion 43 is made of plastic, and the distal end portion is thin enough to reach the apex t4. Since the distal end of the nozzle part does not reach the apex t4 by being hooked on the side surface of the pulp cavity t3 as in the prior art, the distal end of the tip 40 can be reduced. The distal end can reach the apex t4 and can follow along the fineness, length and shape of the pulp cavity t3. Therefore, the liquid agent L can be reliably spread from the apex t4 to the pulp cavity t3, and is easily handled in the oral cavity.
 本発明によれば、ノズル部43は、側面において螺旋溝432を有する。よって、ノズル部43の断面二次モーメントが小さくなり、ノズル部43をしなやかに撓ませることができ、歯髄腔t3その他の口腔内部等で突き刺さったりせず、患者に痛みを与えることを避けることができる。また、ノズル部43をしなやかに撓ませることができるので、口腔内の狭い空間内において取り回しがしやすく、細長くて曲がった形状の患部となる歯髄腔t3に対して治療しやすい。さらに、液剤Lを、患部となる歯髄腔t3の側面の広範囲に亘って満遍なく行き渡らせることができる。 According to the present invention, the nozzle portion 43 has the spiral groove 432 on the side surface. Therefore, the cross-sectional secondary moment of the nozzle portion 43 is reduced, the nozzle portion 43 can be flexibly bent, and it is prevented from being pierced inside the dental pulp cavity t3 or other oral cavity and avoiding pain to the patient. it can. In addition, since the nozzle portion 43 can be flexibly bent, it is easy to handle in the narrow space in the oral cavity, and it is easy to treat the pulp cavity t3 which is an elongated and bent shape affected part. Furthermore, the liquid agent L can be spread evenly over a wide range of the side surface of the pulp cavity t3 as the affected part.
 本発明によれば、テーパ部42は、蛇腹状の屈曲部Jを有する。よって、チップ40を、基部41とノズル部43との間にあるテーパ部42において、例えば0°から90°の所定の角度範囲内における所望の角度で屈曲させた形状に保持できる。よって、患部の箇所によって、チップ40を所望の角度に屈曲させることで対応でき、口腔内の狭い空間内において取り回しがしやすく、細長くて曲がった形状の患部となる歯髄腔t3に対して治療しやすい上に、多様な屈曲形状を有するチップ40から選択する必要がない。 According to the present invention, the tapered portion 42 has a bellows-like bent portion J. Therefore, the tip 40 can be held in a shape bent at a desired angle within a predetermined angle range of 0 ° to 90 °, for example, at the tapered portion 42 between the base portion 41 and the nozzle portion 43. Therefore, depending on the location of the affected area, the tip 40 can be bent by bending it to a desired angle, and it is easy to handle in a narrow space in the oral cavity, and the pulp cavity t3 is treated as an elongated and bent shape affected area. In addition, it is not necessary to select from chips 40 having various bent shapes.
 本発明によれば、テーパ部42は、蛇腹状の屈曲部Jを有し、ノズル部43は、側面において螺旋溝432を有する。よって、患部の箇所によって、チップ40を所望の角度に屈曲させることで対応でき、口腔内の狭い空間内において取り回しがしやすく、細長くて曲がった形状の患部となる歯髄腔t3に対して治療しやすい上に、多様な屈曲形状を有するチップ40から選択する必要がない。また、細長くて曲がった形状の患部となる歯髄腔t3に対して治療しやすい。さらに、液剤Lを、患部となる歯髄腔t3の側面の広範囲に亘って満遍なく行き渡らせることができる。 According to the present invention, the tapered portion 42 has a bellows-like bent portion J, and the nozzle portion 43 has a spiral groove 432 on the side surface. Therefore, depending on the location of the affected area, the tip 40 can be bent by bending it to a desired angle, and it is easy to handle in a narrow space in the oral cavity, and the pulp cavity t3 is treated as an elongated and bent shape affected area. In addition, it is not necessary to select from chips 40 having various bent shapes. In addition, it is easy to treat the pulp cavity t3, which is an affected part having an elongated and bent shape. Furthermore, the liquid agent L can be spread evenly over a wide range of the side surface of the pulp cavity t3 as the affected part.
 本発明によれば、螺旋溝432は、複数であるので、液剤Lを、ノズル部43の周囲に、つまり、歯髄腔t3の内側面の全周に亘って満遍なく行き渡らせることができる。また、液剤Lの圧力を歯髄腔t3の内側面における長手方向と周方向に分散できる。 According to the present invention, since there are a plurality of spiral grooves 432, the liquid L can be spread evenly around the nozzle portion 43, that is, over the entire inner surface of the pulp cavity t3. Further, the pressure of the liquid L can be dispersed in the longitudinal direction and the circumferential direction on the inner surface of the pulp cavity t3.
 本発明によれば、遠位端部は、噴射口431から噴出された液剤Lを螺旋溝432に連通するスリット433を有するので、噴射口431から噴射された液剤Lの一部を直径方向に逃がすことができ、軸方向への噴射の圧力を低減できる。また、直径方向に流れた液剤Lを、螺旋溝432を伝ってノズル部43の近位側に向けて流れやすくでき、歯髄腔t3の側面の広範囲に亘って満遍なく行き渡らせることができる。 According to the present invention, since the distal end portion has the slit 433 that communicates the liquid L ejected from the ejection port 431 to the spiral groove 432, a part of the liquid L ejected from the ejection port 431 is diametrically aligned. It is possible to escape, and the pressure of the injection in the axial direction can be reduced. In addition, the liquid agent L that has flowed in the diametric direction can easily flow toward the proximal side of the nozzle portion 43 through the spiral groove 432, and can be spread evenly over a wide range of the side surface of the dental pulp cavity t3.
 本発明によれば、ノズル部43は、遠位端部において、0.25±0.05mmの外径及び0.1±0.05mmの内径を有するので、従来と比べてノズル部43の遠位端部の断面二次モーメントが小さくなり、遠位端部をしなやかに撓ませることができ、歯髄腔t3やその他の口腔内部を傷付けることが低減でき、患者に痛みを与えることが避けられる。 According to the present invention, the nozzle portion 43 has an outer diameter of 0.25 ± 0.05 mm and an inner diameter of 0.1 ± 0.05 mm at the distal end portion. The sectional moment at the distal end is reduced, the distal end can be flexed flexibly, damage to the pulp cavity t3 and other oral cavity can be reduced, and pain to the patient can be avoided.
 本発明によれば、ノズル部43は、プラスチック製であり、少なくとも曲げられてから術後までの時間において、撓んだ状態を保持可能な粘弾性を有するので、ノズル部43をしなやかなものにできるとともに、歯髄腔t3の形状に追随するように曲げられた状態を保持するので、術中に、歯髄腔t3その他の口腔内部等で突き刺さったりせず、患者に痛みを与えることを避けることができる。 According to the present invention, the nozzle portion 43 is made of plastic and has viscoelasticity that can maintain a bent state at least from the time it is bent to after the operation, so that the nozzle portion 43 is supple. In addition, since the bent state is maintained so as to follow the shape of the dental pulp cavity t3, it is possible to avoid piercing the dental pulp cavity t3 and other inside of the oral cavity during the operation, and avoid giving pain to the patient. .
